Research
Original research,
built on verified data.
Sol Gravitas™ publishes original research built on verified data. Every figure comes from a named, checkable source, is checked against a second one, and carries its method and date. The work starts with one sector, stone, and grows one sector at a time.
The Research Standard
Four gates.
One rule.
-
01
Named, checkable source.
Every figure comes from a source that can be named and checked: an official database, a company filing, or a survey or interviews Sol Gravitas ran itself. Not a directory, a blog or an unnamed estimate.
-
02
Cross-checked.
A figure from published data counts only when a second, separate source agrees with it. When two sources disagree, the gap is stated or the figure is dropped. A figure from Sol Gravitas’s own survey or interviews states its sample, questions and dates, so its method can be judged.
-
03
Method and retrieval date stated.
The codes, the query and the date the data was taken are written down, so any reader can repeat the check.
-
04
Limits stated.
What the data cannot show is said plainly, next to what it can.
If any gate fails, the finding does not ship.
In the stone exports study, one finding was dropped because two official databases could not both be right.
Raw truth over manufactured intelligence.
Three Levels
Three ways to use
the research.
Published Studies
- Original studies, free to read
- Sources, codes and dates stated
- Limits stated in full
- New sectors added as each study passes the standard
Sector Briefs
- One sector, one clear question
- What the official data shows and what has changed
- Built on the same four gates
- Scope agreed before work begins
Custom Research & Monitoring
- Scoped to one firm’s decision
- A market, competitors, suppliers or a buyer segment
- One study or ongoing monitoring
- Full scoping call before research begins
- Findings are private to the client
Pricing is never published. Scope, method and cost are agreed in a written proposal before any research begins.

India’s Stone Exports Did Not Fall in 2025
A published sector projection put India’s 2025 stone exports down about 14 per cent. Indian customs data for the same twelve months shows them up 3.9 per cent. Every figure traced to the Department of Commerce, with codes, query path and retrieval date.
Read the study →Ten Stone Suppliers, Checked Against the Register
Ten Indian stone suppliers from an open trade directory, checked against India’s public tax register, to show what a foreign buyer can verify from abroad. The full method is included so any reader can repeat it.
See the note →More sectors are added as each study passes the research standard. Nothing is published before it does.
